SUWANEE, Ga. -- With the conclusion of this Saturday's games, the match-ups for the inaugural SCAC Football Championship weekend have been set. Official Championship Website | Tickets

Next Saturday, November 15, all six of the conference's football-playing members will assemble in Little Rock, Arkansas at historic War Memorial Stadium to determine the league's final order of finish, including the 2025 conference champion.

Capping Saturday's tripleheader will be top-seeded Texas Lutheran University (5-0 SCAC; 6-3 overall) against second-seeded McMurry University (4-1 SCAC; 5-4 overall) with the 2025 conference title on the line. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 pm CT. The Bulldogs walked away with a 42-13 victory over the War Hawks two Saturday's ago in a game played in Abilene. The two teams were co-champions of the SCAC last season.

Hendrix College (3-2 SCAC; 5-4 overall) earned the third seed for this weekend's event, but with Austin College, Centenary College and Lyon College all finishing 1-4 in league play, tiebreakers were needed to determine the fourth seed. The first seed tiebreaker that provided any differentiation was overall losses and Centenary had one more loss (seven) than both Lyon and Austin College (six). Once two teams were remaining, the league's tiebreaker reverted to head-to-head results and Lyon (1-4 SCAC; 2-6 overall) earned the berth in the third place game by virtue of its 40-28 victory over Austin College on November 1 in Sherman. Hendrix defeated Lyon, 38-21, on October 25 in a game played in Conway, Arkansas.

Opening SCAC Football Championship Weekend play will be a rematch of the tonight's regular season finale with fifth-seeded Austin College (1-4 SCAC; 2-6 overall) taking on sixth-seeded Centenary College (1-4 SCAC; 1-7 overall). The 'Roos went on the road and picked up their first conference win of the season in their 20-10 victory over the Gents. Saturday's fifth-place game is scheduled to kick-off at 10 am CT.
